Abstract: Development in the design of heat exchangers in past years has taken the demand and usage of radiators to an improved level. Radiators, known as core components of the engine cooling system are now available in many designs and according to the material used. Selection of type of material, whether aluminum or copper is dependent on cost, heat rejection, convection, conduction thermal properties, and many more. Current radiators are either aluminum or copper. Generally, copper radiators are preferred or used in… Show more

The microchannel heat sink (MCHS) is an efficient thermal management technology widely used in various fields, including electronic equipment, automobiles, and aerospace. In this paper, the recent advances in cross-sectional shape, coolant type, flow channel shape, flow pattern, and application scenarios of the MCHS are systematically reviewed. The liquid film thickness in circular microchannels is the smallest, followed by rectangle, trapezoid, and triangle sections. Conversely, the pressure drop experienced exhibits an inverse relationship with the liquid film thickness. Comparatively, the heat transfer performance of the liquid phase surpasses that of the gas phase, and the two-phase coolant consistently outperforms the single-phase coolant. The study also investigates the impact of flow direction and shape on heat transfer performance. It is found that the implementation of wavy, fractal, and cavity structures enhances heat transfer performance at the expense of increased fluid motion variability, resulting in a loss of pressure drop. Additionally, this paper discusses the occurrence of laminar and turbulent flow phenomena within MCHSs and summarizes their respective influences on heat dissipation performance. On the basis of the aforementioned findings, four key applications of MCHSs are emphasized, accompanied by recommendations for their present utilization and future development. Future research endeavors will concentrate on striking a balance between altering the shape and material characteristics of MCHSs to optimize heat transfer performance while developing novel theoretical models continuously.

The current study is based on the structural analysis of radiators made of different materials to compare their effectiveness in the case of naturally aspirated and turbocharged diesel engines. For the analysis of the radiator structure, ABAQUS software was used. In the ABAQUS, static structural analysis was made to calculate the strength of the radiator. The said software is capable of calculating the strength of the radiator considering the boundary conditions (i.e., fixing at corners) as well as the loading conditions. It was observed that stresses generated while using an aluminium radiator were very high than those produced by steel radiators. According to the study, the following are the key findings for the steel and aluminium radiators. In the first case, while three corners were fixed, the steel radiator showed a deflection of 1.86 mm while aluminium exhibited 5.65 mm. However, in the second case in which the radiator had four fixed corners, the deflection of the steel radiator was 1.10 mm, while that of aluminium was 3.36 mm. Additionally, based on the deflections obtained from all investigations, it was found that radiators made of aluminium were more sensitive than those made of steel in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged applications. However, due to aluminium’s strong thermal conductivity, it is compatible with naturally aspirated engines in terms of thermal capacity. To combat turbocharged engine complications caused by high temperatures, such as thermal cracking, engine wear and tear, and so on, a steel-made radiator is more suitable than an aluminium radiator, hence mitigating the issues.
